WHAT HE HAD.

A Wild Man After "a Dose of Gold and Silver
to Cure the Interpreters"
A well dressed, but wild-eyed man en-
tered i Market street drug store Thursday
evening and walking up to the prescription
clerk, he pointed to his head and whispered:
They're in there"
whats in there?n asked the clerk.
"Why; I've got interpreters in my brain
and must have something for them"
The clerk felt to see if his gun was in
his pocket and said: We'll, what do you
take for them?"
Gold and Silver" whispered the indi-
vidual, who by this time looked as if he
were going to blossom ont into full
fledged, bawlng wild maniac.
"All right" said the drug dispenser,
"I'll give you dose" and he got around
behind the soda fountain and fixed up a
decoctiOn of plain soda, Rochelle salts and
some other bitter stuff, which he handed
to the specimen of Jim jams.
Whats that?" he suddenly asked.
Gold and silver" answered the clerk.
Then the man looked at the bitter dose
q little hit, after which he swallowed it
down Whether it cured the "interpre-
ter or not was not learned, for he shot out
of the door, down the street, and the phar-
maciSt has been making close inquiries as
to whether maniac has been arrested, but
as he has not it is possible the dose of
gold and silver" either cured or killed
him.

last evening. The intention was to give a

erected on the lawn facing the river and
natural gas and Japanese lanterns lighted
it beautifully. On account of the bad
weather the house was used for dancing
until the rain stopped, when some of the
more yentureSOme took possession of the
platform. kramer's orchestra furnished
the music, and all spent a most delightful
evening. A sumptuOus luncheon and other
were served at II o'clock, to
which all did Justice. The affair was most

THE FINEST IN TOWN.
Mr.. George bursts New and Magnificent
Quarters.

MI. George bursts new ana MasnIncent
Quarters.
One of the most successful of our young
business men is Mr.. George burst, now at
the head of the ice cream, candy and fancy
cake trade in Wheeling. But few years
ago he embarked in business in very
modest way, but he quickly achieved q
reputation for dealing in nothing but the
finest grades of gaods in his line, and he
soon acquired and has steadily held the
trade of those who appreciate the best.
This is the secret of his success. For a
long time he has felt the pressing
necessity for more room, finer appoint
ments, and new and improved
machinery, and within the last week he
removed to Nos 1917 and 1919 Market
street, occupying the entire three story
building, which was greatly enlarged and
especially fitted up to meet his desires.
He is now installed in the largest and best
appointed establishment in West Virginia.
While showing REGISTER reporter about
the premises last evening Mr.. burst said:
Il now have splendid facilities for the
production of the very best things in my
line, and can guarantee the excellence of
my speialties-lce cream, line cakes, candy,
etc. The easement, 26x90 feet is filled
with the latest machinery, run by steam
power, and an almost unlimited guam
tity of cream, candy and cake can
be turned out at very short notice. The
store room, 26x90 feet, the same as the
basement, is without doubt the finest place
OF business in the city. Large and airy,
it is Just the place to satisfy my customers,
and the steam fan which will be in constant
motion, will keep the temperature cool and
pleasant in the hottest day of July or Au-
gust. Up stairs there is an ice cream par
4or, 20x35 feet in dimensions, connected
with the street by private entrance. The
apartment is luxuriously furnished, and
can not be matched in the city-nor in
many places outside of it, for that matter.
For private parties, where home accommO-
dations are insufficient, it is just the thing.
| am satisfied that am now in far better
position than ever before to meet the wants
Of the Wheeling public, and shall have no
difficulty in giving satisfaction"
Mr.. burst is right. His establishment
has been the talk of the town for the past
few days, and his elegant stOreroOm is uni
yersaliy admired.

A BAD DAY.
The Local Game stepped by Raln-A
Change for To-day.

The Local Game stepped by Raln-A
Change for To-day.
Luck has been with the Wheeling base
ball club in a number of its games and
about as many times against it, but yester-
day Providence showed its hand and wept
tears of rain Just about in the proper place
to save Wheeling from what had the ap-
pearance of another defeat. When the
game opened at the Island Base Ball Park
our boys did not go into the contest with
mnch energy, and the lack of enthusiasm
of the small attendance did not waken
them up to any great extent.
In the first inning two errors on
the part of the home team brought in
four runs for the visitors, who then went
into the field. The Green Stockings man
aged to pound out two runs in their half
when they retired.
In their halfofthe second Sandusky made
one more, when they again changed places
with our boys, who got two men on bases
and the following three at bat were struck
out. a heavy shower then came up which
prevented further playing, and the players
and the audience retired.
To-day, if the weather permits, better
things are promised. A new man named
Hadding, from Scranton, Pa, who is said
to be terrific hitter, has signed and will
play left, Sammy Nicholl will play in his
old position, short stop. Dudley will make
his first appearance since being hurt, at his
old post, second base; Speidel will remain
at third and Crogan will play first. Mallory
and Elliff will be the battery. We now
have the best infeld in the Ohio League,
and with Mallory in the box the visitors
may look out for squalls.
